I want to let everyone know about my experience with Blackstar Knives and Britt in the hopes that no one else has to go through what I went through.
I ordered a First Blood knife in June of 2012 and was told by Britt Gudowski that I would recieve my knife in 6-8 weeks. So when I did not recieve my knife after nearly 3 months I contacted Britt and was told that there where some delays and I would recieve my knife within 30 days....6 weeks later I still did not have my knife so I text and called britt several times with within the next month without a single reply. I then filed a dispute on paypal in the hopes to at least recover my final deposit of $263.00 Shortly after I filed the dispute Britt responded to the dispute VIA Paypal and I quoate "12/12/2014 12:55 PST - Seller: I was out of the country(my phone doesnt work out of the US) and will be shipping his knife out to him next week.Britt" But I did not get the knife the next week. So I talked to britt on the phone on friday the 19th of December and he told me that he just got back from over seas and he would ship the knife either Sat. Or Mon. and then send me a tracking number and the knife would be on my door step by Wed Dec 24th. I never recieved a tracking number and Britt has once again went silent on me despite the several attempts I have made to get ahold of him. It is now Jan 1st 2015. I have not heard from Britt and I do not have the Knife I have paid in full. I may be able to get the final payment back via Paypal claim, but I will have to go to small claims court to get the first and largest payment back because Paypal only gives a person something like 6 weeks to file a claim and I paid Britt the down payment last June 2014. I would never wish this experience on anyone and honestly I do not know how Britt Gudowski and Blackstar Knives stay in business when they do not deliever the paid for product. If this write up saves anyone from going through what I did I will consider it well worth it.

Thanks, Tracy Yates

Okay. Now that that's out of the way. You registered here just to bash him? Hmmm.

Why not file a claim in small claims court? Of course with all the posts on his page that so and so is a liar and he's a liar and they are liars and liars are liars I wouldn't have done business with him in the first place. Youse pay your money and youse take your chances.

So nice of you to post this (insert sarcasm here). If this post had not received any responses before I saw it, I would have deleted it. While we all like to look out for one another and let folks know of both good and bad experiences with products we use, this forum is not a platform for your personal consumer education crusades. Participate in the forum if you wish. It would be nice to receive warnings from people we know (as much as you can on a forum) and not somebody with just a bone to pick.

Google says at least on Blade Forums. Of course Google does not show results if the post has already been removed.

Just seemed like maybe a blanket post.....in as many places as possible.

I did a search because my first thought was this is one of many on other forums. If that had been the case I would have deleted it. It just strikes me as an, "I'll show him" post.

Hi a my names Adam last year I waited over six months for my FB knife of britt , he gave me every excusise in the book u name it he said it , I had to go on his face book and on blade sites like this one to get it, after my knife came he said he was sorry for how he had treated me his partner cheated on him and he went to sort his relashionship out plus he feel behind with his new FB knife as he had to remake them for people and take the old ones back so I left it there . He gave me his word if I have another this would never happen again cus he felt bad for how he has treated me ,and like a dum fool I payed a deposit 260 us again for a knife 6 months ago and still don't have my knife he give me the bull 28 days and it will be done , I said if u need another month that's fine 6 months have gone and no knife he has not returned my e mails for 2 months now he's a dam lier , so I'm in the same boat as u , I would like to here from u as there has been so much said and happened with my dealings with britt my e mail would be 200 pages long so can't put everything he's a bad man and the biggest lier I have ever dealed with in my life Adam
